Based in Louisiana, Krispy Krunchy Chicken serves mildly spiced fried chicken with sides like mashed potatoes, red beans and rice, and macaroni and cheese. Its slogan is "Freshly made, perfectly Cajun." Since its founding in 1989, the chain has spread to more than 2,700 locations in 47 states, mostly in convenience and grocery stores.

Eleven of those stores, all in Walmarts, are operated by ADS Concepts, of Interlaken. CEO Deep Patel told ÈËÊÞÐÔ½» that Auburn is his company's second New York location, after one near Geneva that opened three weeks ago. The rest are in Florida, Arizona and Arkansas. Patel said he has another 31 Krispy Krunchy Chickens in construction, and hopes to have opened 100 by the end of 2024.

The Auburn Walmart location is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, Patel said, and employs a staff of 15.

"We're happy to be in Auburn," he said. "We love the opportunity here."

After an investigation, police determined Kallfelz became "highly intoxicated" at a wedding at the residence that afternoon, which had about 150 guests. He became involved in "various verbal and physical altercations throughout the afternoon," including touching four female guests forcibly. As a result, Kallfelz was asked to leave.

Shortly afterward, Kallfelz returned to the residence with an Anderson AM-15 assault rifle and walked up the driveway "in an aggressive manner," police said. He inserted a 30-round magazine loaded with .556 ammunition into the weapon and cycled the bolt action. Fearful that he was preparing to shoot and kill guests, several of them disarmed and secured Kallfelz while others contacted police. 

Kallfelz has been charged with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a class D felony), one count of making a terroristic threat (a class D felony), four counts of forcible touching (a class A misdemeanor) and one count of aggravated DWI (an unclassified misdemeanor). He was held at the Onondaga County Justice Center pending central arraignment.

His academic preparedness and continued professional development includes a certificate of advanced study, educational leadership and a master's degree in education, curriculum and instruction from SUNY Oswego, the district said, plus a superintendent development program through Oswego.

"With two decades of administrative experience and a proven track record of leadership, Mr. Carnicelli is well-equipped to continue the tradition of excellence in Weedsport Central School District," the district said. "His accomplishments include enhancing student outcomes through innovative instructional practices, driving educational learning initiatives, strategic planning, curriculum development and community engagement."

He also has a certificate of advanced study, educational leadership from Le Moyne College, a master's degree in education, curriculum and instruction from SUNY Oswego, and a bachelor's degree in music education from Ithaca College.

"With an extensive background in education, Mr. Stone brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record of successful leadership to the Weedsport Central School District," district said.

In late June, the Weedsport school board selected Dr. Brian Hartwell, the Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES district superintendent, as the consultant for the Weedsport superintendent search.

Goodrich was wanted for second-degree robbery and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, Schenck said, and had been "avoiding prosecution" since Aug. 31.

According to a news release, when officers executed both an arrest warrant and a bench warrant on Sept. 13, Goodrich immediately fled in a stolen vehicle. After a brief pursuit in Wayne County, he crashed into a field and fled on foot where he was ultimately taken into custody.

He was transported to the Cayuga County Sheriff’s Office where he was processed on the warrants and held at the Cayuga County Jail pending court appearance.

Schenck said his  office was also assisted by both the Wayne County and Cayuga County Emergency Dispatch Centers and that anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Cayuga County Sheriff’s Office at (315) 253-1222 or leave a tip at .

"I would hope that Mr. Tulley can return to the status quo," he said. "And be in the same position as anyone else for the purpose of applying for licenses, should he wish to do so."

The chain, which included I'm Stuck at 9 E. Genesee St. in Auburn, I'm Stuck Presents the Weed Warehouse at 2020 Crane Book Drive in Aurelius and six other unlicensed dispensaries in Wayne, Monroe and Oswego counties, was raided by the state June 30 and shut down a month later. It was the state office's first use of stronger enforcement powers to shut down "gray market" businesses.

The state now seeks monetary penalties from Tulley, his companies and the owners of the buildings where his businesses were located, which are Capflow Capital LLC at 9 E. Genesee St. and Donald R. Di Santo at 2020 Crane Brook Drive. The Office of Cannabis Management and Office of the Attorney General have not provided ÈËÊÞÐÔ½» the total amount of penalties sought by the state.

According to , however, Tulley faces a penalty of $10,000 for each day his businesses sold cannabis without a dispensary license and $20,000 for each day they sold cannabis after receiving an order to cease from the state, among other penalties. The building owners, meanwhile, face a penalty of $10,000 for each day they permitted Tulley's businesses to sell cannabis on their properties.

Tulley is also accused of selling cannabis to minors at I'm Stuck, which he opened in Auburn in January and in Aurelius last year. He began leasing a billboard above the Auburn location last month.

Since his motion was denied, Bondy has requested the state produce body wire evidence from the law enforcement officers who raided the dispensaries in June. He said he hopes that evidence will show the raids violated the Fourth Amendment, making their findings — including 47 pounds of cannabis flower, 244 pounds of edibles and 89 pounds of concentrate that officers seized — unusable in court.

"We hope the Appellate Division determines the searches at issue are unconstitutional," Bondy said. "These are constitutional points."

Meanwhile, Bondy also hopes for a court hearing on the question of whether Tulley's business model at I'm Stuck is permitted by the state's Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act, which made the substance legal to use and possess in New York beginning in March 2021. The self-described "consulting firm" gave products to customers as "gifts" while charging them for advice about cannabis.

Asked about Tulley's claim to ÈËÊÞÐÔ½» in August that Bondy is negotiating with the state to secure his client a cannabis processor license, the attorney declined comment.
